(4/11/2014)The Eagles are open to trading pass rusher Brandon Graham and he's been involved in negotiations already according to two separate reports. PhillyMag.com says the team is open to trading Graham and the Pottstown Mercury reports Graham's name came up in a trade discussion involving Dolphins pass rusher Dion Jordan.

Graham has 11.5 sacks over four seasons, tearing an ACL in late 2010 and forcing him to miss some time in 2011. He hasn't missed a game over the last two years.

Report: Eagles made an offer for Dolphins' Dion Jordan

The Dolphins drafted Oregon pass rusher Dion Jordan last April to be an asset on their defense. He didn't really deliver as a rookie as a shoulder injury preceded a season in which he had just two sacks and 26 total tackles.

The Eagles, led by former Oregon Ducks head coach Chip Kelly, might have noticed. A "respected NFL source" told the Pottstown Mercury that the Eagles offered pass rusher Brandon Graham and a second-round pick to the Dolphins for Jordan roughly two months ago. The Dolphins seemingly declined. The paper suggests the Eagles might give their first-round pick this year for him.

Brandon Graham says he deserves to be a starter

by Larry Hartstein | CBSSports.com

(1/7/2014)Eagles outside linebacker Brandon Graham, who had four sacks playing just 27 percent of the defensive snaps, told CSNPhilly.com that he deserves to be a starter, in Philadelphia or elsewhere.

“My biggest thing is I just want to be a starter and I definitely deserve that much,” Graham said. “As long as I keep working, I know that day will come.

“I feel real good going into next season. I think I’ve got pretty good film out there.”

The Eagles' first-round pick in 2010, Graham converted to linebacker when Philly switched to a 3-4. He's more suited to play 4-3 defensive end, but still has two years left on his contract. According to the report, Graham would become expendable if Philly drafts a pure 3-4 edge pass rusher.
